You must use three cubes wide for minimum stability. The average number of cubes used is between 3 and 5. Of course by increasing the number of cubes used, you improve the stability of the dock. The surfaces of our cubes have a special motif, which, under normal usage, are designed to provide an anti-skid surface.
Yes, in the case of a standard installation, the product is very simple to assemble and install. At the time of purchase, our retailer or distributor will provide you with the necessary information to install the dock yourself. They can also offer you their installation services. If you experience problems with the installation, we invite you to contact us directly via e-mail or through our toll-free number. On the other hand, if you want the warranty to be applied, you have to register your product as soon as the installation is finished. If you cannot confirm that the installation respects all requirements needed and requested by Candock, the warranty cannot/will be applied.
Candock’s docks are extremely resistant and can support a heavy load, even on ground. So there is no problem if your dock touches the bottom of the water plan. However, make sure there are no sharp objects where your dock touches the ground.
Yes, but we recommend to assemble the dock on the shore in sections, and then put the sections in the water to finish the assembly.
Yes, the Candock system is very light and can be easily towed behind a small boat, entirely, or in sections.
Yes, there is a method to connect them together. However, we recommend consulting your distributor or contacting us directly to discuss your specific project requirements and ensure compatibility.
PRODUCT STRENGTH
Candock’s products are UV-resistant and the sun will not affect its properties in any way. Plus, its light color will assure you a comfortable surface to walk on barefoot unlike the black color ones often used by other manufacturers.
As with all other types of floating docks, a protected area where waves are inferior to 3′ or 1 m is recommended. We have however frequently witnessed our system withstand extreme weather and tidal conditions. Our modular system is of small size, allowing it to move easily with the waves, instead of resisting them. If where you are located, the waves are higher that 3′ (1m), Candock docks are made to withstand severe weather conditions, although, you have to contact us to see how the warranty applies in those cases.
THE JETSLIDE DRY DOCK SYSTEM
Yes, there are some specific adjustments to be made during installation, but the system works very well with Jet Boats.
No, not if the Jetslide system is properly used. The Jetslide has a V-shaped entrance point, specially designed to block the engine stand when the boat gets to final resting position. If you follow the instructions and use the product correctly, the engine will not damage the Jetslide. If you do not follow the recommendations or do not use the system properly, then the Jetslide can be damaged. The Jetslide has been foamed to prevent sinking in case of an accident.
No, the Jetslide is made of a more flexible plastic than the hull of your boat. Moreover, the smooth surface of the Jetslide will assure an on/off slippery surface thus eliminating most of the friction.
Yes, specific details of your boat hull may put pressure on the entrance of the Jetslide causing superficial small scratches but those won’t affect in any way the overall performance of the Jetslide product.
